I caught the premier of MTV’s newest show Rock the Cradle tonight. It’s a new reality competition series that pits the children of eight established musicians against one another for a shot at stardom:
Olivia Newton-John’s daughter Chloe Rose Lattanzi
Kenny Loggins’ son Crosby Loggins
Eddie Money’s daughter Jesse Money
Joe Walsh’s daughter Lucy Walsh
Al B. Sure’s son Lil Al B Sure
Dee Snider’s son Jesse Blaze Snider
Tom Johnston’s daughter Lara Johnston
MC Hammer’s son Akeiba Burrell Hammer
Bobby Brown’s son Landon Brown
The two that actually seemed like they had some talent were Lara Johnston and Jesse Blaze Snider.
You can see all the performances here, if you missed it.
Well will see how it goes…kinda like American idol. Except daughters and son of famous singers..
What did you think? Is there anyone you think stands out as the one that’s going to make it? I really liked Crosby. He was a little stiff for the first performance, but I think it’s awesome that he actually plays the guitar, as well as sings. I ldid like them all though, there was such a wide range and that really kept me entertained. Hopefully as the show progresses and they loosen up a little, we’ll be able to see the real performances emerge. I am actually helping out with the show, so I have been listening to the contestants on Myspace and other sites, and it’s cool to see what their music is like outside the show. It kind of gives you a better idea of the music talent (or not) they’re bringing with them, and it will be cool to see where they go. Trying to escape your parent’s shadows and establish your own identity must be tough. I thought they all did a pretty good job on Thurs. What did you think about the fact that the judges scores were so wide apart? It was a little off setting for me at first, but then I found that it was cool because I had no idea what to expect of them. It all comes down to us voting anyhow. *Rock on! :-)
There’s 9 contestants!
